The good news is, the Safari 5.0.2 update fixes a passel of bugs and outstanding security issues. The bad news: like all Safari updates, which replace the underlying Webkit framework used by many Mac OS X apps to render HTML, this 39 MB update requires a restart. There’s also a 4.1.2 update for users still on Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger.
Apple’s notes on the update say that it “contains improvements to compatibility and security” including:
- Fixes an issue that could prevent users from submitting web forms
- Fixes an issue that could cause web content to display incorrectly when viewing a Google Image result with Flash 10.1 installed
- Establishes an encrypted, authenticated connection to the Safari Extensions Gallery
Thanks to Carlos, Joachim and David for sending this in.
